You can use the code analysis tools in the Debug mode. To switch to Debug mode, select Debug in the mode selector, or select the Analyze menu and then select a tool. When you are in the Debug mode, you can switch between tools by selecting them in the menu on the toolbar.

You can drag and drop the views in the Debug mode to new positions on the screen. The size and position of views are saved for future sessions. Select Window > Views > Reset to Default Layout to reset the views to their original sizes and positions.

You can use the following code analysis tools in the Debug mode:

• QML Profiler

  You can inspect binding evaluations, signal handling, and painting operations when running QML code. This is useful for identifying potential bottlenecks, especially in the evaluation of bindings.

• Valgrind Code Analysis Tools

  You can detect problems in memory management by using the Memcheck tool and find cache misses in the code by using the Callgrind tool.

• Clang Static Analyzer

  You can detect problems in C, C++, and Objective-C programs by using the experimental plugin that integrates the Clang Static Analyzer source code analysis tool.

• CPU Usage Analyzer

  You can analyze the CPU usage of embedded applications and Linux desktop applications with the CPU Usage Analyzer (commercial only) that integrates the Linux Perf tool.
